Mr.. GAPEN'S LITTLE SCHEME
He Demands More than the Monthly
Expenses of the Insane Hospital.
lie Claims that He Is Entitled to One Twelfth
of the Appropriation, but Treasurer
Lemc ke Interprets the Law Differently.

In the absence OF appropriations for the
benevolent institutions the Governor, Secretary
and Treasurer Of State. upon whom is imposed
the duty of making allowances for their ex-
penses. restricted, as has been shown, to the
amount OF the last preceding appropriations
made by the General Assembly. The law goes
further than this, and says that in making the
allowances these officers cannot exceed IN any
one month one-twelfth of the amount appropri-
ated for the current expenses of the institu-
tons for the last preceding year for which an
preparation shall have been made by the General
Assembly. Phil Gapeu, treasurer of the In
diana Hospital trustees. and his colleagues, it
seems, have opinion in regard to
this action. while the Treasurer of State
holds to another. The expenses for
the hospitals maintenance during No
vember amounted to $l9.648, and those for
clothing and repairs $1,000 and $l.048 respect
lively. Gapeu procured from the Auditor of
State yesterday. warrants for these amounts.
and on presenting them to the Treasurer Of
State insisted that the warrants for maintenance
should have called for the full one twelfth of the
last appropriation of $780, 00 Although the
vouchers approved and filed with the Auditor of
State amounted to $I9.643 he claimed that he
should have $21. &C., as he regarded the section
which provided for the one-twelfth monthly al
lowance as obligatory. The Treasurer thought
otherwise, and main tained that it did not re-
quire him to pay moro than the warrant proved
by the vouchers called for and, again, that in no
case could the warrant exceed in any one month
one-twelfth of the last appropriation. Gapen
had to be satisfied with this ruling.
In this Instance it is said. the effect of Gapen's
position, which is doubt held by the other
trustees. would be to place in their hands on &C
count of November expenses for maintenance
$2,0l8 more than they really were. It is argued
further, that in the coming December
vouchers amount only to SIS. 600, Gapen in get
ting one-twelfth of the appropriation would OBJ
tain an excess of So 900 for that month, which,
With the So. 600 and over of the month preceding,
would give the trustees reserve fund
of than $4,000. It would not
matter then if the January expenses were run
up to $4,000, for the trustees. in addition to the
So. 600 they would have on hand. could draw one
twelfth of the appropriation for that month.
By thus going at low ebb for two or three
months the trustees counted going at high
tide for month. and then retrench. hoping by
the law OF averages to bring themselves out
even with the appropriation at the end of the
year, and in the meantime to obtain the use of a

templated they should have

A LAW WITHOUT A PENALTY.
How the Coal Compact Has Used the Council
in Keeping Ont Competition.

Several weeks ago there was agreement
made between the city clerk and Superintendent
Travis that the coal dealers should be made to
comply with the ordinance STIMULATING that they
should pay license of So for each cart in use
Accordingly, notices were sent out TO all the
dealers warning them that unless they obtained
their.license in ten days they would be prose-
cuted. The dealers without an exception ignored
the notices, and yesterday morning the order
was given to issue warrants for their arrest.
The names of q dozen more of the leading
dealers were selected as the first to be arrested.
and the work of issuing the warrants began. In
looking over the ordinance TO ascertain its ex-
act provisions. City Attorney Taylor discovered
that the penalty clause had been omitted.
Without it the ordinance was valueless, and the
warrants not sent out. The coal dealers
claim that they have been aware of the fact that
the penalty clause omitted when the ordi-
nance passed, and for that have
never complied with it. The ordinance was
passed several years ago. at the instance of the
Coal Dealers Association who wanted to place
outside dealers st q disadvantage in doing bust
ness II is said that there understand
ing when the ordinance was passed that the pen
atty clause should be omitted, for il was realized
that unless the defect was made public the ordi-
nance would serve to keep the outside dealers
out. Now that the omission has been discovered
it In understood that the dealers will again GO
before the Council and ask that ordi-
nance, with penalty clause. be PASSED.
